Yams and Apples

December 28, 2021

Authored by: Reboot Center

This holiday season brings to mind a nice side dish I have enjoyed for decades. It reminds me of past family dinners as well as a celebration of autumn harvests. This dish provides us with much-needed carotenoids/vitamin A, fiber and minerals. It also provides calories for enduring those cold winter nights. And yes, “yam” is a misnomer as sweet potato is not a yam – it just is more fun to say it that way.
